## Caption

In 1989, former President Ronald Reagan left a letter to his successor, former President George H.W. Bush. 

That letter launched a decades-long tradition of outgoing presidents passing on words of wisdom, general well wishes, or advice to the incoming president.

George H.W. Bush's letter to Bill Clinton in 1993 was the first time a president left a letter to a successor of another party and a general election opponent.
